Bag 40 complete. Finished building up the aftmost hull plating, built up foundations for decking, and started plating the aft well deck.
Bag 41 contents. Looks like we are getting into some superstructure with all the white pieces.
Bag 41 complete.
Bag 42 contents.
Bag 42 complete. Built up the forward part of this section, around where the aft mast will go.
Bag 43 contents. Interestingly, we have some 1×5 tan plates in this bag. I'm pretty sure the 1×5 mold was only recently created for the globe.
Bag 43 partially done. I thought I would show the foundation for the stern deck before it gets covered up.
Bag 43 complete. Built up the stern deck.
Bag 44 contents. Small bag this time.
Bag 44 complete. It ended with joining the funnel 4 section to the aft end.

The saga draws to a close... Bag 46 contents. Final bag.
Engine.
Installed engines.
Mating.
Locking.
A finishing touch...
Done.
I will be posting a series of detail pictures in the near future as an epilogue. If there's a particular detail you'd like to see up close, feel free to request it.
Bravo, incredibly impressive.
Is there a motor to turn the screws? Seems like it would be hidden inside the hull so maybe no point...

The engine assemblies shown in posts 225-226 are connected to the outboard propellers, and the pistons in the engines do move.
The ship is also made to easily dismantle into the bow, middle, and stern sections to look at the internal cross-sections, so there is some point to the internal details.

I'd love to see these pictures if you're still up for sharing them. This was quite a build.
Bonus post - a final piece added!
It had been bothering me for a while that there was no White Star Line flag, apparently because Lego didn't want to bother licensing the IP.
Well, after a quick search, I found an Etsy shop based in Montreal that was making and selling White Star Line flags just for the Lego Titanic. An easy buy for $6. It just arrived today!

What's it made of?
Lego is usually made from ABS. The usual test to see if it's genuine LEGO ABS is to stand on it and count the number and distance of the people that can hear you scream.
It seems to be the same kind of clear plastic as the other flags, albeit a bit thinner.
